    Lifting a beautiful quote out of that article on Attenborough's off-screen presenting style:

    "I have nothing against that element of adventure, but if you want to know what controls the proportion of sex in crocodile eggs, you don't go to a chap who, when he sees a crocodile, spends his time jumping on it"

    Darkerside - Bwahaha!

    And..

    "But in the long term we are going to run out of space to grow food, which is more important than finding alternative ways to power Rolls-Royces and superjets.""

    I love him!

    Don't we just, you have to love him.

    However, his personal carbon footprint must be HUGE travelling by jet with his entire entourage all over the world to film stuff!!!

    I don't think that many politicians are numerate or understand non-linearity. They don't seem to understand long term economics either.
